After being reborn, he was tricked by paranoid Fu Shao

The atmosphere of Chinese New Year abroad is not very strong, but in China, every household is preparing to welcome this New Year. Maybe the food is not very rich or there are not many people, but the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is definitely there.

On the street, every household is covered with big red lanterns, and there are many firecrackers set off at the door, which some people are preparing to set off tonight.

Today is the New Year’s Eve. Once today is over, tomorrow will be a new day. Many different people will have new experiences on a new day, and have a different understanding of the world.

This year’s Jincheng, the New Year’s atmosphere is different from the past. There are lanterns hanging everywhere. Various recreational activities such as swinging, walking on stilts, running morning boats, doing handicrafts, playing games, and competing in talents emerged in an endless stream. The temple fairs held in various places were rich and colorful, bringing unprecedented enjoyment to the people at that time.

But now these customs are still in use. Today, Fu Junmu wanted to take his wife out to have fun and relax, but he didn't expect his wife to bring the "oil bottle". kilowatt light bulb.

"Hey, Duo'er, do you think there is a story being told there?" Xi Ruo suddenly yelled, pointing at the crowd gathered in the distance.

"Well, Cousin Ruoruo, let's go and have a look." Mu Duo'er happily agreed, and then the two walked away hand in hand, as if they had completely forgotten about Fu Junmu who was following behind them. Jumping and jumping, they didn't realize that the people behind were gone.

And Fu Junmu, who was standing there, looked at his wrist, but he was a little speechless. He didn't know what to say. His little wife left again, and now he has become dispensable. Didn't she even notice? Is he gone?
The fact is that Xi Ruo really didn't notice that Fu Junmu was gone, she was still listening intently to what the boss on the stage said.

"Look, everyone, you don't need to buy these lanterns. As long as you can tell a story about "Nian", you can take it away for free." A man dressed as a peddler said loudly.

People huddled together, chattering about the year, perhaps because of this year's Spring Festival, so many people dressed in ancient costumes, but they had a special feeling in their hearts.

　Suddenly a little boy in a white padded jacket shouted loudly, "Uncle, Uncle, I have a story to tell."

"Okay, kid, I'll give you the microphone." The boss on the stage said with a light smile.

"Okay, thank you uncle." The little boy thanked him very politely, and then told the story of Nian.

The Spring Festival, commonly known as the New Year, is a traditional folk festival that people value.People post couplets during the Spring Festival, and the horizontal couplets often write the words "time of summer".The Chinese lunar calendar began in the Xia Dynasty, so it is also called the Xia calendar.Legend has it that King Xia ruled the world, the weather was smooth, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, people had ample food and clothing, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a good life! But later, no

I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know which dynasty it has been. The world is in chaos.Sometimes it is early, sometimes it is waterlogged, and sometimes it is blown

Strong winds and sometimes heavy rain.Some people became poor, some became rich, some became rich, and some became slaves.

At that time, there was a wealthy family in the village who employed several Mihan (i.e. long-term workers).One day, after dinner, people offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God.When little Mihan saw him, he knelt down in front of the Stove Lord and prayed quietly: "Stove King Stove King will show his spirit, don't let the sun shine when it's cloudy, and don't turn it on when it's dark; if you get sick, don't die." I don't want to, these words The rich man just happened to hear it.After putting it on the table and looking for Han to leave, the rich man also knelt in front of the Stove King and prayed: "The Stove King Stove King will show his spirit, don't let the sun shine when it's cloudy, don't turn it on when it's dark, and don't die if you get sick."

No, this just happened to be heard by the rich man.After the little Mi Han left, the rich man also knelt in front of the Stove King and prayed: "The Stove King Stove King will show his spirit. When the sky is overcast, it will be dark, and when it is dark, it will be bright; if he is sick, he will be sick when he is free, and he will make a living when he is busy." At that time, Lord Stove was dozing off. He didn't hear clearly; he vaguely remembered the words "cloudy, sunny, rainy, windy, sick, and painful" and kept them firmly in his heart.

While talking, one year has passed, and on the night of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, all gods will go to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor, and of course the stove god also went.He went earlier than anyone else, she and he said without saying a word, "Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, the little god has made a statement. Right now, the world is in chaos, and the wind and rain are causing disasters. People can't survive, so they should send a big god to come quickly." to govern."

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he couldn't help being surprised: "Is this true?"　
"Not false."

Therefore, the Jade Emperor hastily issued an imperial decree: to appoint a great god to manage the folk clothing industry, and the imperial decree, all the gods will look at me and I will look at you, but no one will accept the decree.

At this moment

Suddenly there was a shout outside the Nantian Gate: "The gods back off, I will do this job!"

When I looked up, I saw a bald, chubby, big belly, squinted eyes, and a smiling god-Maitreya Buddha.This Maitreya Buddha has a big heart and a big heart. He spends all day admiring the scenery outside the Nantian Gate. He also feels bored. He just wanted to do something for people, so he automatically took on this important task.

However, when Maitreya Buddha came to the world, the first thing he did was to let people live a happy new year, eat well, wear well, and not work.Therefore, people followed his wishes, and made New Year's goods at every market, and they were really busy.Maitreya Buddha also specifically stipulated: 24, sweeping the house; 25, grinding tofu; 27, steaming steamed buns; 28, shopping; Please come, incense foil, all ready.On the first day of the new year, which is the first day of the new year, every family has to wake up at five o'clock, set off firecrackers, dress neatly, congratulate each other, eat, drink and have fun.At the same time, Jiang wants to visit relatives and friends, visit the graves of ancestors
In this way, the world is really peaceful.

Unexpectedly, one day, firecrackers rang, and the cannons spread to the Heavenly Palace, where the Jade Emperor was playing chess. When he heard the cannons, he thought something happened in the world.So he sent the God of Wealth to the world to check.The God of Wealth is the God in charge of gold and silver treasures in heaven.When he came to the world, he saw that there were incense foils everywhere, so he was so happy that he forgot to go back.The Jade Emperor sent Cangguan down to earth, and Cangguan is the god who is in charge of warehouses.He saw that every household was piled up with steamed buns for incense, and he didn't want to go back to heaven.

The Jade Emperor sent several immortals down to earth, but there was still no reply.Speaking of time, half a month has passed, and the Jade Emperor's chess game has also finished.He suddenly remembered that none of the gods he had sent had come back, so he went to the human world to check in person.When he saw people dressed in brand-new clothes, eating rice, white flour, meat and vegetables, and not doing any work, he was very angry, so he summoned Maitreya and said, "I asked you to take charge of all the affairs of the people. Who told you to let me go?" People eat well, wear well, and live?"

Maitreya Buddha smiled and said: "Your Majesty calm down, you want me to take care of people's food and clothing."

Live, but you didn’t ask me to let people work!” One sentence left the Jade Emperor speechless. After Jade Emperor thought about it, he was right. Since he had already done this, it could only happen once a year. After the beginning of spring, people have to go to work in the fields. Therefore, the old rule has been left since then, and there is a Spring Festival every year. After that, Maitreya Buddha can no longer return to Nantianmen.

To this day, in some monasteries, there are still statues of him.People say that Maitreya Buddha cannot be blamed for this matter, after all, he wants to do good things for people.Therefore, people offer incense to him as usual.

"Uncle, how's it going, how's my story going, can you give me a lantern?" The little boy said after finishing his story, looking at the boss who was still full of ideas.

"Okay, baby, you are amazing, this lantern is yours, here, here it is for you." The man gave the lantern to the little boy.

Xi Ruo was wondering if they could go up too, when she saw Mu Duoer standing on the stage looking at her with a smile on her face, before she could speak, she heard the girl tell the boss that she There is also a story of the year that I want to share.

4 A long time ago, there was a monster called "Xi", which would come out every year to hurt people. Even the Stove Lord who protects the common people could not do anything about it, so the Stove Lord invited a child prodigy called "Nian" to heaven. , the child prodigy was powerful, and he wiped out the Xi beast with red silk and a bamboo pole that crackled in the fire. This day happened to be the last day of the twelfth lunar month. The last day of each year in the lunar calendar is called "New Year's Eve", and the first day of the new year is called New Year's Eve. The common people hope that every family will have red silk and firecrackers, so red silk and bamboo poles burned in the fire gradually evolved into every household's New Year's Eve. There are red couplets and red firecrackers from time to time.

　 Also, in ancient times, there was a ferocious monster that lived scattered in deep mountains and dense forests, and people called them "Nian". "Nian" has a terrifying appearance and a ferocious nature. It specializes in eating birds, beasts, and scale insects; it changes its taste every day, from insects to living people, which makes people talk about "Nian".

Gradually, people grasped the activity law of "Nian". It turns out that every 365 days, it would rush to the place where people live to taste delicious food, and the time to come and go is after dark. Then he went back to the forest.This matter spread to Ziwei Xingjun in the sky. In order to save people, he was determined to destroy Nian Beast.One year, when the Shi Nian beast came out, he knocked it down with a fireball, and then locked it on the stone pillar with a thick iron chain.

Since then, "Nian" has been conquered by people and has become a beneficial animal for the town house.

"Uncle, what's the matter, how about my story, I told two, can you give me two lanterns?" Mu Duo'er looked at the boss with slightly closed eyes and asked.

"Ah? Little girl, your story is not bad, here are two." The boss generously gave her two lanterns.
